Bells on Sunday comes from the Church of St Michael and St Felix in Rumburgh, Suffolk. The building dates from the 13th-century and is the former church of a Benedictine Priory that was supressed in the 16th century by Cardinal Wolsey to provide funds for building of Cardinal College in Ipswich. The tower houses a ring of six bells the oldest of which date from 1624. The Tenor bell weighs seven hundredweight and is tuned to the note of A. We hear them ringing Grandsire Doubles.
